[SMBX2] Super Mario Zeal - C3 Winter 2022 Demo (1.4.3 "Mad Forest +3")

Non-Super Mario WorldStandardWork in ProgressDemoScreenshotsVideos



So here we go again, another year and another promising and lovely C3! I will admit that I have not made many new levels since the previous C3. Most of the period since then has been more focused on polishing and bugfixing, not to mention the month and a half long hiatus/break I decided to go on. Not to say that there's nothing new. Bonus and Challenge rooms finally have a Donkey Kong Country Trilogy styled bonus room API, courtesy of MrDoubleA; which is a BIG game-changer and will allow me to make more challenging challenge rooms in future levels.

At this point I feel that this project of mine is starting to get where I want it to be on the gameplay side of things. anyways I believe a brief premise recap and some screenshots new and old are in order.


Quote
King Bowser has teamed up with King Wart and King K. Rool in a new alliance known simply as "The Rotten Regents". Together these Kingly Konquerers have stolen and scattered the power stars for their own (as of yet unknown) diabolical ends. It it now up to Mario and his friends to recollect the scattered Powers Stars, discover what the Rotten Regents are up to; and put a end to their sinister scheme!

Google Drive (UPDATED Yet again!)




These graphics are lovely it's not often I see non vanilla assets used so very amazing to see.


You are challenged by Champion Daisy!

LAYOUT FOOTER:
As I've said before in the SMBX Discord server, the amount of work you've put into this is absolutely incredible. I wish you luck in completing Super Mario Zeal! I know the final product will be an absolute fun time.

Greetings. My name is Blake Izayoi. I love Sakuya very much.
I enjoy Super Mario World, Touhou, and Vocaloid.
Have a good day.
Say, this is a neat-looking project! I haven't opened SMBX in a long while (they made a second one?!) but this looks fun enough to open it back up!
This looks really interesting. I might try it out when it's finished (although I haven't touched SMBX in like 5 years :V)
Check out my WIP romhack!
I was just revisiting Super Mario Bros. X2 yesterday and was hoping to find some new packs, and this has definitely peaked my interest.

I'm definitely playing this demo.

LINKS -> YouTube - Discord - Twitter

I wish to thank everyone who has visited this thread so far. I've been informed of a few troubling glitches and I've gone back and updated the download in the opening post.

If you have downloaded the demo already I wish to urge you to redownload the new revision in the opening post.




Never had a huge interest in SMBX myself in the past, but judging by these screenshots alone...I may have been missing something from not experiencing this before. Think I may just have to add this to the list of projects I'll be playing later on.
Once again thank you everyone for visiting my thread. It seems the work of a dev is never done, my small cadre of bugtesters have found a few more glitches hence why I'm once again updating the demo.

I know it's a pain but once again if you have downloaded the demo already I wish to urge you to redownload the new revision in the opening post.




I always get impressed with what people can create in the SMBX Enginges.
Speaking of Engines. Holy Moley I love these train levels. I'd happily play a hack or SMBX Episode that was all about themed train levels.

(could be a cool concept.....)

Regardless I'll have to give the demo a try. I remember really liking what you shown at a past C3.

Cool Work FireSeraphim! #smrpg{cool}
I wish to thank you all for visiting my C3 Thread this year. This C3 has been exceptional, especially with all the new hacks and other creative works on the horizon. I apologize for the overall lack of new levels but I promise I'll have more next time.






One last little sneak peek for this C3 Expo.






A slight change in appearance for this WIP level. This is going to be 4-3: High Plains Twister.
